I have a REVO chip in my 20th, I love it. Simple easy to use and mad HP. Never had a problem or thrown a CEL.

Adam - how do they terminate the four hour free test? In other words, how do they unload or delete the upgrade?

Their site says it reverts to original settings by itself. No need to return to the dealer.

i tried it out last week and it was simply amazing. it definitely give the car some more juice. however, there is one issue about this process that still worries me. Correct me if i wrong, but if the enhancement is to make the car run better on 91 octane by changing the fuel timing, etc., would this increase the risk of the car running leaner? If so, the engine will tend to knock more often, and because the engine has a built-in knock sensor, would the car's ECU correct itself and revert the engine back to its original configuration? Then, ultimately, we would pay a whole lot for nothing. Anyone?

Airbox 1

Did you try the 4 hour demo software or did you buy it? If it was the demo, how much did they charge to install it and where did you go to install it?

i tried it out for 5 hours. i am seriously thinking about getting the full version. it costs about $950 total. i live in the san diego area and the dealer is located in the LA area, so not too far of a drive for me.

HI Airbox,

Are you talking about the Powerchip or the REVO Technik software?

For Revo, you can goto Hergesheimer Motorsports in Lake Forest (South Orange County) www.herg.net

The REVO software costs the same any authorized dealer you buy it from ($899)
